I meant to mention, that's all the work we plan to do on the court this year. Our main objective was to put lines down so we could play on it, and to see where puddles arise and such, and make needed repairs, so that in the near future, when we fully finish the court, the repair issues will already be done. The retaining wall might last another year or two, but will also need to be replaced, probably; it's got a good amount of damage to it from water earth pushing on it over the years. But for now, it's a very serviceable (no pun intended!) backyard court!

That is a smart and measured approach. You did a great job making it playable in the meantime. Now all you need is a plan for the critters -- I am having visions of Bill Murray in Caddyshack.
